If you know any bikers who ride for clubs or go to rallies, ask them if they are willing to part with a few, it is usually used to fasten the badges to the waistcoats.Thanks @BhavZ
That is a really good suggestion. I do recall that mentioned before, but didnt think of that now. Thanks for sharing that with a man in desperate need
Only problem is I don't have any such tiny washers available now.
I swear if the shops were open now, I would get in my car and drive for 30 mins to get it!
LOL
@Matthee, thanks - I will see if the spare screw is any better. Appreciate that advice.
@Silver if the deck (block) where the screw goes in is moving, try and tighten the center pin in the bottom of the 510 connector with a flat head screw driver.
It really is worth persevering I promise - yes it is finicky the first few times, but you will get it, and when you do the sense of satisfaction makes it all worth while.
Here is what I have done with the really stubborn coils sometimes:
I put the screw in halfway, then wrap the coil wire all the way around the screw (like 330 degrees around the screw) then while holding the wire firm, I screw the screw in snug. After that I snip off the rest of the tail, then mount the other end of the coil in the same way.
See the pic? That was a .7 Ohm coil that vaped too hot for me, so I took it off after a few puffs. See how the legs wrap all the way around? Yes this extra wire is not ideal, but sometimes its the only way I managed to get it to screw down. You can use a small screwdriver to help push the legs around and hold them there when you screw it down

Great minds. I was on the point to suggest that as well.
Finally
We're in business
Came out at 1.46 ohms. 28g Kanthal
Don't ask me how many wraps - I went for about 8 - but in all the drama of trying to get it on the screws, I was winding and rewinding the end wraps occasionally.... It looks like 10 wraps in the photo.
Just so glad the screws held it.
Burning and tweezing done.
Out with the cotton.

Looking good!
Thanks Dev and Matthee -
it was really rough going. So I am quite chuffed. Was hoping for 1.3 or 1.2 ohms
But no worries. I'll take 1.5. Main will have coil - man must try have a vape.
Not looking forward to the filling procedures coming up soon.
PS - my LED Lenser headlamp has proved to be very useful when coil building - as always.

The filling isn't that bad. Just keep paper towel at hand, and rather fill just 1/4 of the tank, so if you need to adjust wicks or coil you don't have to drain a full tank.
I am so proud of @Silver and @Rob Fisher for taking on the challenge! You guys are rocking it

Super headlamp. Always in my bakkie - camping gear.
You would be even more proud if instead of just staring at the Kayfun Lite all day and thinking about attempting another coil and wick that I actually would take it apart and do it... I was traumatised with the spillage and waste of valuable Menthol Ice yesterday... I think I need another day to recover!
Thanks so much guys - its been such an amazing experience - doing it while you are all online
Ok. Cotton is in.
Juice selection done: 5 Pawns Bowdens Mate
(only because I know it well on my dripper)

Oh, the suspense.
Or.... Silver has pulled another Silver!
